Timing couldn't be worse... or better??

I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason So even though it's a sucky situation (getting laid off) it may turn out to be one of the best things that ever happened for you both (aside from meeting eachother and getting married of course )

You have a good outlook on your situation. Yes everything has a reason.

We to are keeping our fingures crossed we both work in the oil and gas industry. The oil company FI works for let them know there will be layoffs in the next month or so. My work has been really slow, but I hait my job, so would be happy.
